As long as to-be senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger returns, as expected, to the Texas football program in 2020 and doesn’t declare early for the NFL Draft then this team should be set behind center. There’s little to no reason for head Texas football coach Tom Herman to hit the NCAA Transfer Portal right now to land a quarterback, unless he feels like it could be one for the future that would be coming in as a redshirt freshman or true sophomore.
Yet, there’s always going to be bigger name quarterbacks in the transfer portal that could land in the Big 12 and thus have a profound impact on the Texas Longhorns football program in the following season.
